This growing up business has got to stop

My firstborn is four, where has the time gone? I am thrilled with the amazing kid he is growing into. He is all boy, rough and tumble, gun shooting, ball:throwing, hitting, shooting, whacking; superhero, snack sneaker.
Maddox is everyone's buddy. He makes friends with all kids, no matter their age and he asks for his friends daily. Maria is our 18 year old neighbor, Joya is 16, Jarred (his "bigger friend" is 11, his "little friend" Lincoln is 3, Kody is 12 etc. He asks for his cousins, every day as well as rolling ball, the big slide, swimming and golfing. The kid isn't afraid to ask for the world.
He likes to hold my hand and tell me I'm his best friend or his best sweetheart. He kisses the back of my hand and will stroke my hair, saying "I wike your hair" and then he'll turn right around and punch Jetty in the gut. Every night at bed he asks "mom, you tickle my back and my belly"? He begs to go to church and to school, for goodness sake! I could go on and on and on about what an amazing kid he is and I can just envision the incredible man he will grow into. What a joy to be his mama.

Guess who is FOUR?!

This is his very serious, Spider Man face. He held the face and the pose for quite some time, not seeming to mind that Reese and I were enjoying a good laugh.
We celebrated the day of with a Little Debbie donut mound, a few presents and fun stuff I don't remember. Then we headed to Billings for a smattering of things and celebrated again with all of the fam. Spider Man was the unofficial theme as he is currently very "into" the superhero. We celebrated at the waterpark again this year, it never gets old (Thanks G.G.!)Thanks Grammy and Papa Myers for hosting everyone and providing all of the fun play things!

Donut mound (Maddox just finished crying because Jetty snagged a donut and sent the mound, with lit candle, into a tumbling mess. HA!)

Funny kids

Audrey is 6 months old! Yikes, how the time is whizzing by! She is sitting up, unassisted and is on the verge of crawling. She gets up on her knees and rocks and blows raspberries...its a hoot:) Here she is sporting a skirt I crafted. It is really poorly made but she makes it look darn cute. We had shots today and she was a real champ. After the initial cry she was back to all smiles and flirty eyes. She does this cute head turn, in her carseat, like she is being shy, while cracking a coy smile. Needless to say, we are stockpiling guns and ammo. She is starting to REALLY enjoy solid food, especially pancakes. She was below average in length and about 75% for weight, maybe solid food will allow her height to catch up...ha!
Jetty had had enough of our impromptu hike and fell asleep all smooshy faced. I can't resist pictures of him sleeping, it is about the only time I can get his picture without it being blurry!
I just found this app for my dumb Droid, so I am giving the whole "mobile blogging" gig a try. Who knows, maybe I'll be better about sharing...
